[feature] User expressions followup #33462
Conversation
- renamed the group to "User" - added help text for the group - added QgsSettings Expressions namespace - reworded tooltips for store/remove actions

@elpaso are the custom functions created in python also stored in here? In qgis 3.10 they seem to appear in a "custom" group. I am wandering if we shouldn't keep that name only for the functions and not stored expressions. |
|
What do you mean? The name here is "User" not "Custom". |
... and avoid loading recent exp and fields twice
|
Bu the help says it stores custom functions. And then there can be a "custom" group that where the custom python functions will show. That's why I asked. When, in that group help, you say it contains "custom functions" what do you mean with that? |
|
What do you suggest? Drop "custom" to avoid confusion? |
|
If there's no functions in there, I wouldn't mention custom fuctions. Just "user's saved expressions" |
|
Did you consider "User Expressions" as discussed in the original PR? |
|
Using "expressions" in an expression list seemed redundant to me. |
|
Actually, the list is of functions, not expressions :-p. But the same happen with the "recent" group |
|
ok, let's settle back to "User expressions" |
|
I wouldn't mind "recent expressions" either, but the term recent already has less ambiguity than the term user. As it currently stands, my first expectation for the content would be user name, user profile folder, ... |
|
What about "Saved expressions"? It is what they are, recent implies that they are the latest, whereas saved expression is straightforward as those have been explicitly saved by the user. (Unless this is not related to the work in the other PR). |
I guess we could have one named 'saved expression' and the other 'stored expression', where one would refer to expressions explicitly saved by a user whereas stored expressions would be expression stored in a project.This would ensure that people don't mix up either if we consider the other implementation discussed in the other PR. Edit: what I am proposing seems to be the reverse of the nomenclature used in the QEP and the PR but it feels more natural to me. |
